Things You Might Not Want to See Just as You Hit Level Cap

As a reward for completing a project this week, we were let out of work early today. Half day Friday!

Rather than doing anything useful or productive or simply going outside where it is sunny and a pleasant 70 degrees, I went home, made some lunch, and started playing video games. Go me!

I checked out the new stuff in World of Tanks, which I let patch last night, and entered my code for the Golden Joystick Award prize. Then I queued up a new skill in EVE Online. And, finally, I settled down for some Rift. Hillmar was close to 50 and I figured I could finish that off. Earl was on as well. He is in the Sandy disaster zone and has no power. However he has a generator, and internet connection, and nothing to do, so he was cranking out a couple level 50s on his own.

As it was, the instant adventures running in Meridian were extremely lucrative in exp and I soaked up nearly half a level in pretty short order. Hillmar hit level 50, this finishing off my goal of having one level 50 character in each of the four classes in Rift.

Four Level 50s… and Nehru

So, again, go me. All ready for Storm Legion with about 80 planar attunement points for each… which isn’t a lot, but is enough to get what I want.

Then, just as I am running off to train, a system message shows up in chat.

Uh? Erm?

I have no idea what that was about. I suspect it is something temporary for the “come back to Rift” free weekend. Or something involving the beta. Or a mistake. I really do not know.

It just isn’t the first thing you really want to see when you hit level cap. Made it to level 50 did you? Well, we’re handing that out free today!
